Drew Lock To Start Against Colts

Tuesday, December 24, 12:51 PM

New York Giants quarterback Drew Lock (shoulder) will start again in Week 17 against the Indianapolis Colts on Sunday, according to head coach Brian Daboll. Lock made the start in the blowout loss to the Atlanta Falcons in Week 16, but his availability was in question for this week after he underwent an MRI exam on his right shoulder on Monday. Apparently everything checked out fine with Lock's throwing shoulder, so he'll make his fourth start of the year this weekend. The 28-year-old has not looked good at all in his three starts for the G-Men, completing 53.33% of his 120 pass attempts for 615 yards, one touchdown and four interceptions while also losing two fumbles. He has run for 117 yards and a touchdown on the ground, but nobody that advanced to a fantasy championship should be using Lock as a QB2 in superflex leagues.

James Cook Scores Twice In Week 16

Sunday, December 22, 10:48 PM

Buffalo Bills running back James Cook rushed 11 times for an even 100 yards and one touchdown in the team's 24-21 victory over the New England Patriots. He scored a second time on one of his three receptions. The 25-year-old totaled 26 yards through the air. Cook scored Buffalo's first touchdown on a 46-yard sprint past defenders in the second quarter. In the third quarter, he found paydirt on a four-yard swing pass from Josh Allen. Cook continues to make the most of his touches and will be in the RB1/2 range when the Bills host the New York Jets in Week 17.
